beach trip {6}

On our last morning, Grace and I woke up early to watch the sunrise.

It was fun spending time alone with her.  Who knew she had so much to say so early in the morning!?!

My favorite part of everyday was walking down to the beach with this guy.  John and Grace were always way ahead of us and he was struggling to keep up.  We just took our time walking and talking.  He made sure I was ok after I stepped on seashells.  He's a sweet little guy.

We played really hard on this final day!  We laughed a lot and got taken out by too many waves!!!  Because of all the fun, sand was found in all the places later in the day.

We ate dinner on the beach and it was yummy!

He always picks me flowers!!!

Seriously, love these two so much!!!

We stopped at a couple of beach shops and got some ice cream before packing up to go home.

We had a really fun week and we could have stayed for another week, but we are so thankful for our time together enjoying God's beautiful creation!!!

oh, you know, just another day!

After playing all day at the beach and the pool, we ate dinner at LuLu's.  It's always a fun place to play and eat!

These kids are growing up too fast.  They both look so old and super cute!!!

After dinner, we stopped by for a tasty treat.

FRECKLES!

We got back to the condo too late to go back to the beach, so we played a few games of Pass the Pigs.  I may or may not have kicked some boo-tay before bedtime!

We took a little break from the sun and went shopping at the outlets.  We got some good deals on back to school clothes for John and I and some new tennis shoes for the kids!

Since we were already dressed, we ate lunch out.

The Hangout is a fun place to, you know, hangout.  Grace and Carter made wishes at the wish wall.  They didn't tell me what they wished for, but I know (smirk).

After lunch, the kiddos played in the foam.

After the foam, we attempted to play a game of ping pong, but only about 1/4 of us could keep the ball on the table.

This was the first day of our trip that there weren't strong rip tides, so we finally were able to go out into the water.  Grace loves boogie boarding!  She could live at the beach.  She actually made a big decision this week.  When she grows up, she is going to own two beach condos...one to rent and one to live in.  The rental will be her income and she can just swim and boogie board her life away. 

This boy liked making all kinds of creations in the sand.  The creations usually involved something about superheroes and sometimes turtles.
